D&D NPC generator
Three ready-to-run NPCs for your next session, each with a voice you can perform, something they want, a secret and quick stats. Pick an ancestry and a role or roll at random.
How to use it
Give them a want before a stat block
Players remember the innkeeper who needs her missing brother found, not her armor class. Lead with the want and the voice.
Keep a stack ready
Roll a few NPCs before the session and keep them handy for when the party walks into a shop you didn't plan.
Use the secret as a hook
An NPC's secret is a free side quest. Let the party find out half of it and see what they do.
